Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung für ein Getriebe, umfassend einen Summierplanetensatz, umfassend einen Summierplanetensatz und eine Variatoreinheit und diese untereinander sowie mit Eingangswelle und Abtriebswelle in Wirkverbindung bringenden Bauteilen zur stufenlosen Beeinflussung der Abtriebsdrehzahl bei konstanter Eingangsdrehzahl.The present invention relates to a device for a transmission, comprising a Summierplanetensatz comprising a Summierplanetensatz and a Variatoreinheit and these with each other and with input shaft and output shaft in operative connection components for continuously influencing the output speed at a constant input speed.

Insbesondere geht es um ein Getriebe für den Einbau zwischen einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine und einem vorhandenen Getriebe beliebiger Bauart, zur stufenlosen Beeinflussung der Abtriebsdrehzahl bei konstanter Eingangsdrehzahl, welches auch zur Nachrüstung bestehender Kraftfahrzeuge geeignet ist.In particular, it is about a transmission for installation between an internal combustion engine and an existing transmission of any type, for continuously influencing the output speed at a constant input speed, which is also suitable for retrofitting existing vehicles.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind mehrere Systeme zur Aufteilung der Antriebsleistung bekannt. Sie werden üblicherweise zwischen dem Verbrennungsmotor und dem Getriebe zum Fahrzeugantrieb eingebaut und leiten einen Teil der Motorleistung zu einem oder mehreren Nebenverbrauchern, wie beispielsweise Pumpen oder anderen Aggregaten ab. So zeigt das Power Divider System nach Cushman, das in Figur 11 schematisch und vereinfacht wiedergegeben ist, eine mit einem Verbrennungsmotor verbundene Eingangswelle, dessen Drehimpuls direkt oder über eine Stirnradstufe zu zwei Kupplungen abgeleitet wird, von denen eine zur Antriebswelle des Fahrzeuges und die zweite zur Antriebswelle eines Aggregates, beispielsweise einer Pumpe, führt.Several systems for distributing the drive power are known from the prior art. They are usually installed between the engine and the transmission for vehicle propulsion and divert a portion of the engine power to one or more secondary consumers, such as pumps or other aggregates. This is how the power divider system after Cushman, in FIG. 11 is shown schematically and simplified, a connected to an internal combustion engine input shaft whose angular momentum is derived directly or via a spur gear to two clutches, one of which leads to the drive shaft of the vehicle and the second to the drive shaft of an aggregate, such as a pump.

Wie - ohne weitere Erläuterung leicht erkennbar - ist dieses Prinzip nicht geeignet, um die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit bei hoher Leistung zur Nebenabtriebswelle unabhängig von der Motordrehzahl in definierten, insbesondere sehr geringen Geschwindigkeitsbereichen zu betreiben oder stufenlos einzustellen. Die Abtriebswellendrehzahl zum Fahrzeuggetriebe steht beim System nach Cushman immer in einem definierten Verhältnis zur Antriebsdrehzahl. Soll das Fahrzeug bei sehr geringer Geschwindigkeit und hoher Motordrehzahl betrieben werden, so kann dies nur geschehen, indem die Kupplung zum Fahrzeuggetriebe schleifend betrieben oder bei Vorhandensein eines Drehmomentwandlers das Fahrzeug über die Betriebsbremse gebremst wird. Alternativ kann die Drehzahl des Verbrennungsmotors reduziert werden, was sich auch auf die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle zum Nebenaggregat, beispielsweise einer Löschwasserpumpe auswirkt.As easily recognizable without further explanation, this principle is not suitable for operating or continuously adjusting the vehicle speed at high power to the power take-off shaft independently of the engine speed in defined, in particular very low speed ranges. The output shaft speed to the vehicle transmission is always in the Cushman system in a defined ratio to the drive speed. Should the vehicle at very low Speed and high engine speed can be operated, this can only be done by the clutch to the vehicle transmission operated by grinding or braked in the presence of a torque converter, the vehicle via the service brake. Alternatively, the speed of the engine can be reduced, which also affects the speed of the output shaft to the accessory, such as a fire water pump.

Ein anderes bekanntes System zur Aufteilung der Antriebsleistung, gebaut von der Firma Twin Disc, ist in Figur 12 schematisch und vereinfacht wiedergegeben. Auch bei diesem System ist man wieder mit dem oben geschilderten Problem konfrontiert, dass die Aggregatleistung in direktem Verhältnis zur Motordrehzahl steht, welche wiederum in Zusammenhang steht mit der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit. Demnach ist es auch hier nicht möglich, dass beispielsweise die Motordrehzahl hoch ist, damit die Löschpumpe mit hoher Ausstoßleistung betrieben werden kann und gleichzeitig das Fahrzeug über einen längeren Zeitraum im Schritttempo bewegt wird.Another known system for splitting the drive power, built by the company Twin Disc, is in FIG. 12 reproduced schematically and simplified. Also in this system, one is again confronted with the above-described problem that the unit power is in direct proportion to the engine speed, which in turn is related to the vehicle speed. Accordingly, it is also not possible here that, for example, the engine speed is high, so that the extinguishing pump can be operated with high output and at the same time the vehicle is moved over a long period at a pace.

Die in den beiden Figuren 11 und 12 dargestellten Lösungen sind in der Praxis auch bei Löschfahrzeugen zu finden. Sie sind für die temporäre Zuschaltung von Nebenabtriebswellen durchaus geeignet. Der wesentliche Nachteil liegt jedoch darin, dass die Abtriebswellendrehzahl zum nachgeschalteten Fahrzeugantrieb nur über schleifende Kupplungen beeinflusst werden kann. Dies hat jedoch zur Folge, dass ein Fahren des Fahrzeuges bei sehr langsamer Geschwindigkeit und gleichzeitig hoher Motordrehzahl unter Verwendung von nachgeschalteten automatischen Getrieben oder Synchrosplitgetrieben nur sehr eingeschränkt oder gar nicht möglich ist. Die Mindestgeschwindigkeit ist durch die erforderliche Motordrehzahl zum Antrieb der Nebenaggregate durch die Übersetzung im niedrigsten Gang und gegebenenfalls durch einen Drehmomentwandler festgelegt.The in the two FIGS. 11 and 12 Solutions shown can be found in practice also in fire trucks. They are quite suitable for the temporary connection of power take-off shafts. The main disadvantage, however, is that the output shaft speed to the downstream vehicle drive can only be influenced by sliding clutches. However, this has the consequence that driving the vehicle at very slow speed and at the same time high engine speed using downstream automatic transmissions or synchrosplit transmissions is very limited or not possible. The minimum speed is determined by the engine speed required to drive the accessories by the ratio in the lowest gear and, where appropriate, by a torque converter.

Weiters sind Stufenlosgetriebe bekannt, die das Drehmoment des Antriebsaggregates auf einen Fahrzeugantrieb und einen Nebenabtrieb der Art aufteilen, dass der Fahrzeugantrieb innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Bereiches stufenlos veränderbar ist. So offenbart die JP 2008 201303 A ein spezielles Getriebekonzept für ein Stufenlosgetriebe für Traktoren. Dieses Getriebe ist aber nicht als separates Modul integrierbar zwischen einem herkömmlichen Getriebe und einem Motor und daher insbesondere auch nicht zur Nachrüstung geeignet.Furthermore, continuously variable transmissions are known which divide the torque of the drive unit to a vehicle drive and a power take-off of the type that the vehicle drive is continuously variable within a predetermined range. So revealed the JP 2008 201303 A a special transmission concept for a continuously variable transmission for tractors. This transmission is not as a separate module integrable between a conventional transmission and a motor and therefore in particular not suitable for retrofitting.

Die DE 30 41 865 A1 und die EP 1 961 994 A2 offenbaren ebenfalls hochintegrierte Stufenlosgetriebe, welche aber ebenfalls nicht als separates Modul integrierbar sind zwischen einem herkömmlichen Getriebe und einem Motor.The DE 30 41 865 A1 and the EP 1 961 994 A2 also disclose highly integrated continuously variable transmissions, which however can not be integrated as a separate module between a conventional transmission and a motor.

Technische AufgabenstellungTechnical task

Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, eine Einrichtung in der Form eines Moduls zur stufenlosen Anpassung der Drehzahl an der Abtriebswelle zum Fahrantriebsgetriebe zu schaffen, welches zwischen einem Verbrennungsmotor und einem beliebigen Schaltgetriebe, beispielsweise Handschaltgetriebe, Synchrosplitgetriebe oder Automatgetriebe einbaubar ist.The present invention therefore has the object to provide a device in the form of a module for continuously adjusting the speed at the output shaft to the traction drive transmission, which can be installed between an internal combustion engine and any manual transmission, such as manual, synchrosplit transmission or automatic transmission.

Gegebenenfalls soll die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung auch eine Aufteilung der Antriebsleistung einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine auf einen Fahrzeugantrieb und einen oder mehrere Nebenabtriebe mit stufenloser Anpassung der Drehzahl an der Abtriebswelle zum Fahrzeuggetriebe oder mit stufenloser Anpassung der Drehzahl an der Abtriebswelle zum Nebenabtrieb ermöglichen, die die genannten Mängel der bekannten Einrichtungen weitgehend vermeidet und einen einfachen, in seiner Herstellung kostengünstigen Aufbau besitzt und auch zum nachträglichen Einbau geeignet ist.Optionally, the device according to the invention should also allow a division of the drive power of an internal combustion engine to a vehicle drive and one or more power take-offs with continuous adaptation of the speed of the output shaft to the vehicle transmission or with continuous adjustment of the speed of the output shaft to the power take-off, the said deficiencies of the known devices largely avoids and has a simple, inexpensive to manufacture its construction and is also suitable for retrofitting.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung soll es insbesondere ermöglicht werden, bei hoher Motordrehzahl das Fahrzeug auch bei sehr geringer Geschwindigkeit zu fahren, ohne die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit nur über schleifende Kupplungen zu beeinflussen, oder die Drehzahl an den Nebenabtrieben unabhängig von der Motordrehzahl in definierten, insbesondere sehr geringen Fahrgeschwindigkeitsbereichen stufenlos einzustellen.With the device according to the invention, it should be possible in particular to drive at high engine speed, the vehicle even at very low speed, without affecting the vehicle speed only via sliding clutches, or the speed of the power take-offs regardless of the engine speed in defined, especially very low driving speed ranges infinitely adjustable.

Allgemeine Darstellung der ErfindungGeneral presentation of the invention

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einer Einrichtung gemäß der eingangs genannten Gattung erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Einrichtung als vorgefertigtes Modul zwischen der Eingangswelle von einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine und der Abtriebswelle zu einem herkömmlichen Getriebe beliebiger Bauart und/oder der Abtriebswelle zu einem Nebenabtrieb einbaubar ist, und dass die Einrichtung Mittel zur Aufteilung der Antriebsleistung einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine auf einen Fahrzeugantrieb und einen oder mehrere Nebenabtriebe aufeist, wobei die Drehzahl des Fahrantriebes und/oder die Drehzahl des Nebenabtriebes durch die Einrichtung stufenlos einstellbar sind.This object is achieved on the basis of a device according to the aforementioned type according to the invention that the device as a prefabricated Module between the input shaft of an internal combustion engine and the output shaft to a conventional transmission of any type and / or the output shaft is installed to a power take-off, and that the means comprises means for dividing the driving power of an internal combustion engine on a vehicle drive and one or more power take-offs, said Speed of the drive and / or the speed of the power take-off are infinitely adjustable by the device.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zwischen der Eingangswelle von einem Verbrennungsmotor und der Abtriebswelle zum Fahrzeugantrieb beziehungsweise einem Nebenabtrieb ein Modul vorgesehen ist, umfassend ein Überlagerungsgetriebe und einem Variator, welches eine stufenlose Reduktion oder Erhöhung des Drehimpulses von der Eingangswelle zur Abtriebswelle ermöglicht, wobei der Drehimpuls der Eingangswelle über eine Stirnradstufe an ein Hohlrad des Überlagerungsgetriebes und von diesem Hohlrad über Planetenräder und mit diesen Planetenrädern in Wirkverbindung stehendem Sonnenrad, welches über ein Variatorsystem angetrieben wird, an einen Planetenträger übertragen wird, der in Wirkverbindung mit der Abtriebswelle beziehungsweise dem Nebenabtrieb steht.According to the invention, a module is provided between the input shaft of an internal combustion engine and the output shaft to the vehicle drive or a power take-off, comprising a superposition gear and a variator, which allows a continuous reduction or increase of the angular momentum from the input shaft to the output shaft, wherein the angular momentum of the input shaft via a Spur gear to a ring gear of the superposition gear and of this ring gear planetary gears and with these planetary gears operatively connected sun gear, which is driven via a variator, is transmitted to a planet carrier, which is in operative connection with the output shaft or the power take-off.

Das erfindungsgemäße Modul ist auch geeignet zur Aufteilung der Antriebsleistung einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine auf einen Fahrzeugantrieb und einen oder mehrere Nebenabtriebe, wobei die Drehzahl des Fahrantriebes oder die Drehzahl des Nebenantriebes stufenlos einstellbar sind. Weiters kann das Modul zwischen der Verbrennungskraftmaschine und dem Nebenabtriebsgetriebe eingesetzt werden zur stufenlosen Beeinflussung der Abtriebsdrehzahl bei konstanter Eingangsdrehzahl.The module according to the invention is also suitable for dividing the drive power of an internal combustion engine on a vehicle drive and one or more power take-offs, wherein the rotational speed of the drive or the speed of the power take-off are continuously adjustable. Furthermore, the module between the internal combustion engine and the PTO can be used for continuously influencing the output speed at a constant input speed.

Diese Einrichtung - hier auch kurz als "Modul" bezeichnet - ist beispielsweise für spezielle Einsatzfahrzeuge, wie Löschfahrzeuge, insbesondere Flughafenlöschfahrzeuge, aber auch für Straßenkehrmaschinen, Beton-Mischfahrzeuge, Schneefräsfahrzeuge und ähnliche Anwendungen geeignet, bei denen die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit oder die Drehzahl an den Nebenabtrieben unabhängig von der Motordrehzahl in definierten, insbesondere sehr geringen Geschwindigkeitsbereichen stufenlos einstellbar sein soll. Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung kann die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit und die Drehzahl an den Nebenabtrieben optimal auf die jeweils herrschenden Arbeitsbedingungen abgestimmt werden.This device - here also referred to as "module" for short - is suitable for example for special emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks, especially airport fire trucks, but also for street sweepers, concrete mixing vehicles, snow blowers and similar applications in which the vehicle speed or speed at the power take-offs independently should be continuously adjustable from the engine speed in defined, especially very low speed ranges. With the present invention, the vehicle speed and the speed at the power take-offs are optimally matched to the prevailing working conditions.

Das Modul ist aber - beispielsweise bei Kraftfahrzeugen ohne Nebenabtrieb - auch geeignet, um den Abtrieb gegenüber der Motordrehzahl zu reduzieren oder zu erhöhen. Wird beispielsweise der Abtrieb gegenüber der Motordrehzahl erhöht, so führt dies zu einem geringeren Moment am nachfolgenden Getriebe, wodurch eine höhere Leistung auf das nachfolgende Getriebe übertragbar wird. Dadurch wird es ermöglicht, Dieselmotoren der neueren Generation mit höheren Momenten mit herkömmlichen Getrieben zu kombinieren, welche nicht für so hohe Momente ausgelegt sind.However, the module is - for example, in motor vehicles without PTO - also suitable to reduce the output compared to the engine speed or increase. If, for example, the output is increased relative to the engine speed, this results in a lower torque on the following transmission, as a result of which higher power is transferable to the following transmission. This makes it possible to combine diesel engines of the newer generation with higher torque with conventional transmissions, which are not designed for such high torque.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung ist insbesondere zur Nachrüstung bestehender Kraftfahrzeuge geeignet.The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for retrofitting existing motor vehicles.

Ausführungsbeispielembodiment

Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung ist in den Figuren schematisch dargestellt und wird nachfolgend anhand dieser Figuren näher beschrieben. Darin zeigt: Figur 1 eine erste Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Moduls für ein Getriebe zum Einbau zwischen einem Verbrennungsmotor und einem beliebigen Fahrzeuggetriebe, Figuren 2 bis 10 jeweils eine zu Fig. 1 alternative Ausführungsform eines erfin-dungsgemäßen Moduls für ein Getriebe, Figur 11 ein Getriebe aus dem Stand der Technik, und Figur 12 ein weiteres Getriebe aus dem Stand der Technik. The device according to the invention is shown schematically in the figures and will be described in more detail below with reference to these figures. It shows: FIG. 1 a first embodiment of the module according to the invention for a transmission for installation between an internal combustion engine and any vehicle transmission, FIGS. 2 to 10 one to each Fig. 1 alternative embodiment of a module according to the invention for a transmission, FIG. 11 a transmission of the prior art, and FIG. 12 another transmission from the prior art.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 10 dargestellten Einrichtungen erheben keinen Anspruch auf vollständige Abbildung aller möglichen Alternativen, jede weitere alternative Ausführung ist für den Fachmann jedoch aus diesen Abbildungen heraus leicht nachvollziehbar.The in the FIGS. 1 to 10 However, any other alternative embodiment will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from these figures.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, weist die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung zur Aufteilung der Antriebsleistung einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine auf einen Fahrantrieb und einen oder mehrere Nebenabtriebe eine Eingangswelle 1 und eine Abtriebswelle 3 zum Fahrzeuggetriebe auf, welche über eine Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 miteinander verbindbar sind. Im normalen Fahrbetrieb, ohne Aktivierung des Nebenabtriebs 8, ist die Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 geschlossen und das Drehmoment wird von der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 unmittelbar an die Abtriebswelle 3 übertragen.How out Fig. 1 can be seen, the inventive device for dividing the drive power of an internal combustion engine on a traction drive and one or more power take-offs on an input shaft 1 and an output shaft 3 to the vehicle transmission, which are connected to each other via a synchronizer 2. During normal driving, without activation of the power take-off 8, the synchronizer 2 is closed and the torque is transmitted from the transmission input shaft 1 directly to the output shaft 3.

Alternativ dazu ist die Eingangswelle 1 mit der Abtriebswelle 3 zum Fahrzeuggetriebe über ein Überlagerungsgetriebe 17 verbunden, wobei das Hohlrad 18 über eine Stirnradstufe 16 mit der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 gekoppelt ist und entsprechend der Drehzahl der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 rotiert.Alternatively, the input shaft 1 is connected to the output shaft 3 to the vehicle transmission via a superposition gear 17, wherein the ring gear 18 is coupled via a spur gear 16 to the transmission input shaft 1 and rotates according to the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft 1.

Das Sonnenrad 19 des Summierplanetengetriebes wird über einen Hydromotor 12 angetrieben, welcher im geschlossenen Kreislauf mit einer Hydraulikpumpe 11 verbunden ist. Die Hydraulikpumpe 11 wird durch Zuschaltung des Nebenabtriebs 8 durch Schließen der Kupplung 7 aktiviert.The sun gear 19 of the Summierplanetengetriebes is driven by a hydraulic motor 12 which is connected in a closed circuit with a hydraulic pump 11. The hydraulic pump 11 is activated by connecting the power take-off 8 by closing the clutch 7.

Der Abtrieb vom Summierplanetengetriebe erfolgt über den Planetenträger 21 und von dort über eine Stirnradstufe 24 zur Abtriebswelle 3. Die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 zum Fahrzeuggetriebe kann innerhalb der Drehzahl- und Leistungsgrenzen des hydrostatischen Variatorsystems 13 stufenlos an die jeweiligen Bedingungen angepasst werden.The output from the Summierplanetengetriebe via the planet carrier 21 and from there via a spur gear 24 to the output shaft 3. The speed of the output shaft 3 to the vehicle transmission can be adjusted within the speed and performance limits of the hydrostatic variator system 13 continuously to the respective conditions.

In den Figuren 1 bis 10 sind hydrostatische Variatorsysteme 13 dargestellt. Die Ausführungen gelten aber genauso für geeignete alternative Variatorsysteme, in welchen eine kontinuierliche Veränderung der Abtriebsdrehzahl des Variatorsystems möglich ist. Darunter fallen beispielsweise alle hydrostatischen Variatoren mit einer Verstellpumpe und einem Konstantmotor oder mit einer Verstellpumpe und einem Verstellmotor, beispielsweise in der Form von Axialkolbenmaschinen oder in der Form von Flügelzelleneinheiten, aber auch elektrische Variatoren, Riemen- oder Kettenvariatoren und viele andere mehr.In the FIGS. 1 to 10 hydrostatic variator systems 13 are shown. However, the explanations also apply to suitable alternative variator systems in which a continuous change in the output speed of the variator system is possible. This includes, for example, all hydrostatic variators with a variable displacement pump and a constant motor or with a variable displacement pump and an adjusting motor, for example in the form of axial piston or in the form of vane units, but also electric variators, belt or chain variators and many more.

Der Nebenabtrieb 8 wird bei Bedarf über eine zuschaltbare Kupplung 7 an die Getriebeeingangswelle 1 gekoppelt, wodurch im Bedarfsfall das gesamte Drehmoment der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 auf den Nebenabtrieb 8 übertragen wird.The power take-off 8 is coupled as needed via a shiftable clutch 7 to the transmission input shaft 1, whereby, if necessary, the entire torque of the transmission input shaft 1 is transmitted to the power take-off 8.

Im normalen Fahrbetrieb des Fahrzeuges wird der Kraftfluss von der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 zur Abtriebswelle 3 und von hier zum Fahrzeuggetriebe über die Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 geschlossen. Die Verbindung 14 des Hydromotors 12 mit dem Sonnenrad 19 des Summierplanetengetriebes ist geöffnet, ebenso wie die Kupplung 7, wodurch keine Leistung an den Nebenabtrieb 8 übertragen wird. Infolge der direkten Verbindung der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 mit der Abtriebswelle 3 wird die gesamte Antriebsleistung mit minimalen Verlusten übertragen. Die Komponenten des Summierplanetengetriebes und der verbundenen Stirnradstufen rotieren ohne Last entsprechend den gewählten Übersetzungsverhältnissen.In the normal driving operation of the vehicle, the power flow from the transmission input shaft 1 to the output shaft 3 and from here to the vehicle transmission via the synchronizer 2 is closed. The connection 14 of the hydraulic motor 12 with the sun gear 19 of the Summierplanetengetriebes is open, as well as the clutch 7, whereby no power is transmitted to the power take-off 8. Due to the direct connection of the transmission input shaft 1 to the output shaft 3, the entire drive power is transmitted with minimal losses. The components of the summation planetary gear and the connected spur gear stages rotate without load according to the selected gear ratios.

Im kombinierten Fahrbetrieb wird zusätzlich zur geschlossenen Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 auch die Kupplung 7 geschlossen. Die Verbindung 14 bleibt offen. Die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit wird durch die Drehzahl des Verbrennungsmotors und die Übersetzung des eingelegten Ganges im nicht dargestellten, der Abtriebswelle 3 folgenden Getriebe bestimmt.In combined driving operation, the clutch 7 is closed in addition to the closed synchronizer 2. The connection 14 remains open. The vehicle speed is determined by the speed of the internal combustion engine and the translation of the engaged gear in the transmission, not shown, the output shaft 3 following.

Soll die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit nun angepasst werden bei unveränderter Kraftübertragung zum Nebenabtrieb 8, so wird im Variatorsystem 13 in der Hydropumpe 11 durch eine entsprechende Steuereinrichtung die Fördermenge des Druckmediums soweit beeinflusst, dass an der Verbindung 14 Synchrondrehzahl zwischen der Abtriebswelle des Hydromotors 12 und der Welle zum Sonnenrad 19 besteht.If the vehicle speed is now to be adjusted with unchanged power transmission to the power take-off 8, then in the variator 13 in the hydraulic pump 11 by a corresponding control device, the flow rate of the pressure medium influenced so far that at the connection 14 synchronous speed between the output shaft of the hydraulic motor 12 and the shaft to the sun 19 exists.

Nachdem die Synchrondrehzahl erreicht ist, wird mittels der Verbindung 14 das Sonnenrad 19 mit dem Hydromotor 12 verbunden und anschließend die direkte Verbindung zwischen Getriebeeingangswelle 1 und Abtriebswelle 3 durch öffnen des Synchrongetriebes 2 unterbrochen. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt erfolgt die Leistungsübertragung vom Verbrennungsmotor zum Fahrzeuggetriebe ausschließlich über das Überlagerungsgetriebe 17, wodurch die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 durch Beeinflussung der Drehzahl des Sonnenrades 19 über das Variatorsystem 13 stufenlos eingestellt werden kann.After the synchronous speed has been reached, the sun gear 19 is connected to the hydraulic motor 12 by means of the connection 14, and then the direct connection between the transmission input shaft 1 and the output shaft 3 is interrupted by opening the synchronous transmission 2. From this point, the power is transmitted from the engine to the vehicle transmission exclusively via the superposition gear 17, whereby the rotational speed of the output shaft 3 can be adjusted continuously by influencing the rotational speed of the sun gear 19 via the variator 13.

Die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 kann durch entsprechende Anpassung der Drehzahl des Hydromotors 12 über die Einstellung der Hydropumpe 11 bei konstanter Drehzahl der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 stufenlos an die jeweiligen Einsatzbedingungen angepasst werden. Dadurch wird es möglich, das Fahrzeug auch mit Kriechgeschwindigkeit fort zu bewegen und gleichzeitig den Verbrennungsmotor mit voller Drehzahl zu betreiben, wodurch an der Abtriebswelle zum Nebenaggregat die volle Leistungswirkung ermöglicht wird.The speed of the output shaft 3 can be adjusted by appropriate adjustment of the rotational speed of the hydraulic motor 12 via the setting of the hydraulic pump 11 at a constant speed of the transmission input shaft 1 continuously to the respective conditions of use. This makes it possible to use the vehicle as well Creep speed continues to move while operating the engine at full speed, which on the output shaft to the auxiliary unit, the full power effect is enabled.

Mit diesem System ist auch die Darstellung einer Overdrive- Funktion möglich, bei dem die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 gegenüber der Drehzahl der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 erhöht wird. Voraussetzung dafür ist aber, dass die Leistung des Verbrennungsmotors ausreichend ist und das Sonnenrad 19 mit ausreichender Drehzahl gleichgerichtet mit dem Hohlrad 18 rotiert.With this system, the representation of an overdrive function is possible in which the rotational speed of the output shaft 3 is increased relative to the rotational speed of the transmission input shaft 1. However, the prerequisite for this is that the power of the internal combustion engine is sufficient and the sun gear 19 rotates rectified with the ring gear 18 at a sufficient speed.

Eine alternative Ausführung ist aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich. Der Aufbau und die Betriebsweise entsprechen im Wesentlichen dem Aufbau und der Betriebsweise der Einrichtung nach Fig. 1 . Hier wird lediglich die Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 durch eine zu Verbindung 14 analoge Verbindung ersetzt. Diese Ausführungsform eignet sich besonders für Automatikgetriebe, die der Abtriebswelle 3 nachgeschaltet sind.An alternative embodiment is off Fig. 2 seen. The structure and operation correspond essentially to the structure and operation of the device according to Fig. 1 , Here, only the synchronizer 2 is replaced by a connection analogous to compound 14. This embodiment is particularly suitable for automatic transmission, which are connected downstream of the output shaft 3.

In der Ausführung der Erfindung nach Fig. 3 besteht eine ständige Verbindung der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 zur Hydropumpe 11 und eine ständige Verbindung zwischen dem Hydromotor 12 und dem Sonnenrad 19. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist die Hydropumpe über ein Zwischenrad 26 angetrieben, in analoger Weise kann es an das Zahlrad 6 gekoppelt sein. Bei geschlossener Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 wird die Hydropumpe derart geregelt, dass im hydrostatischen Kreis nur sehr geringer Differenzdruck aufgebaut wird. Der Vorteil der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Anordnung besteht darin, dass der Abtrieb zum Fahrzeugantrieb unabhängig von der Drehzahl des Antriebsmotors eingestellt werden kann, auch wenn der Nebenabtrieb nicht zugeschaltet wurde.In the embodiment of the invention according to Fig. 3 There is a constant connection of the transmission input shaft 1 to the hydraulic pump 11 and a permanent connection between the hydraulic motor 12 and the sun gear 19. In the illustrated embodiment, the hydraulic pump is driven by an intermediate 26, in an analogous manner, it may be coupled to the pay wheel 6. When the synchronizer 2 is closed, the hydraulic pump is controlled such that only a very small differential pressure is built up in the hydrostatic circuit. The advantage of in Fig. 3 The arrangement shown is that the output to the vehicle drive can be adjusted independently of the speed of the drive motor, even if the power take-off has not been switched on.

Eine alternative, kostengünstigere Ausführung zum Ansatz entsprechend der Ausführung nach Fig. 3 ist in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Hier wird die Verbindung zwischen dem Antriebsmotor und dem Fahrzeugantrieb immer über das Überlagerungsgetriebe 17 hergesellt. Beim Antrieb des Fahrzeuges wird demnach über den Variator 13 ständig Druck aufgebaut. Diese Alternative hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft beim Einsatz in Fahrzeugen mit hohen Betriebszeiten bei niedrigen Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeiten wie zum Beispiel in Kehrmaschinen erwiesen.An alternative, cheaper version to approach according to the execution of Fig. 3 is in Fig. 4 shown. Here, the connection between the drive motor and the vehicle drive is always made over the superposition gear 17. When driving the vehicle is therefore constantly built on the variator 13 pressure. This alternative has proven to be particularly advantageous when used in vehicles with high operating times at low vehicle speeds, such as sweepers.

Eine weitere alternative Ausführung ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Hier besteht keine direkt schaltbare Verbindung zwischen der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 und der Abtriebswelle 3. Bei deaktivem Nebenabtrieb 8 zum Nebenaggregat erfolgt der Abtrieb unbeeinflusst vom Variatorsystem 13 über das Überlagerungsgetriebe 17. Der Nebenabtrieb 8 ist erst aktiv, wenn die Kupplung 7 geschlossen wird. Sobald die Hydraulikpumpe 11 über die Kupplung 7 zugeschaltet ist, wird im hydrostatischen Kreis Druck aufgebaut und die Bremse 27 wird geöffnet. Für diese Konstruktion ist es erforderlich, das Sonnenrad 19 bei abgeschaltetem Nebenabtrieb über die Bremse 27 mit dem Getriebegehäuse zu verbinden und somit den Kraftfluss zum Fahrzeugantrieb zu schließen.Another alternative embodiment is in Fig. 5 shown. There is no directly switchable connection between the transmission input shaft 1 and the output shaft 3. With deactivated power take-off 8 to the auxiliary unit, the output is uninfluenced by the variator system 13 via the superposition gear 17. The power take-off 8 is only active when the clutch 7 is closed. As soon as the hydraulic pump 11 is switched on via the clutch 7, pressure is built up in the hydrostatic circuit and the brake 27 is opened. For this construction, it is necessary to connect the sun gear 19 with the power take-off off via the brake 27 to the transmission housing and thus to close the power flow to the vehicle drive.

Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte alternative Ausführungsform zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung, ähnlich zu jener aus den Fig. 1 bis 5 , wobei jedoch die Variatoreinheit 13 durch eine einfache Pumpe 28 ersetzt ist, die einen Ölstrom aus einer Ölvorlage gegen eine regelbare Drossel 29 pumpt. Die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit wird bei offener Bremse 27 durch die Drosselregelung beeinflusst. Auch hier besteht keine direkt schaltbare Verbindung zwischen der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 und der Abtriebswelle 3. Wenn die volle Drehzahl der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 für den Fahrantrieb benötigt wird, also bei deaktivem Nebenabtrieb 8 zum Nebenaggregat, erfolgt der Impulsübertrag zur Abtriebswelle 3 direkt über das Planetensystem 17 bei geschlossener Bremse 27.In the Fig. 6 illustrated alternative embodiment shows a device according to the invention, similar to that of the Fig. 1 to 5 However, wherein the variator 13 is replaced by a simple pump 28 which pumps an oil flow from an oil reservoir against a variable throttle 29. The vehicle speed is influenced by the throttle control when the brake 27 is open. Again, there is no directly switchable connection between the transmission input shaft 1 and the output shaft 3. When the full speed of the transmission input shaft 1 is required for the drive, so with deactivated power take-off 8 to the accessory, the momentum transfer takes place to the output shaft 3 directly through the planetary system 17 at the closed Brake 27.

Der Nebenabtrieb 8 wird aktiviert durch Schließen der Kupplung 7. Bei Bedarf wird die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit reduziert, indem die Bremse 27 geöffnet wird. Die mit dem Planetengetriebe 17 in Wirkverbindung stehende Hydropumpe 28, welche gegen die Drossel 29 arbeitet, wird verwendet, um die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 zu beeinflussen. Auf diese Weise wird die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs leichter und über eine große Betriebsdauer reduzierbar im Vergleich zu einer Lamellenkupplung.The power take-off 8 is activated by closing the clutch 7. If necessary, the vehicle speed is reduced by the brake 27 is opened. The standing with the planetary gear 17 in operative connection hydraulic pump 28 which operates against the throttle 29 is used to influence the speed of the output shaft 3. In this way, the speed of the vehicle is easier and can be reduced over a long service life compared to a multi-plate clutch.

Fig. 7 zeigt einen weiteren alternativen Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung, wie er typisch für Feuerwehrautos zum Einsatz kommen kann. Bei dieser Variante wird bei normaler Fahrt die Abtriebswelle 3 zum Fahrzeugantrieb direkt über die Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 mit der Getriebeeingangswelle 1 gekoppelt. Zur Reduktion der Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 wird die Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 geöffnet und mittels der Drehzahl des Sonnenrades 19 im Planetengetriebe 17 die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 eingestellt. Die Drehzahl der Hydropumpe 28 wird durch Regelung der Durchflussmenge an der Drossel 29 eingestellt. Die Übersetzungen in den Stirnradstufen 16 und 24, sowie im Summierplanetensatz 17 sind so gewählt, dass bei geschlossener Synchronisiereinrichtung 2 die Drehzahl am Sonnenrad 19 und somit an der Hydropumpe 28 nahe Null ist. Fig. 7 shows a further alternative construction of the device according to the invention, as it can be used typically for fire trucks. In this variant, the output shaft 3 is coupled to the vehicle drive directly via the synchronizer 2 with the transmission input shaft 1 during normal driving. To reduce the speed of the output shaft 3, the synchronizer 2 is opened and adjusted by means of the speed of the sun gear 19 in the planetary gear 17, the speed of the output shaft 3. The speed of the hydraulic pump 28 is set by controlling the flow rate at the throttle 29. The ratios in the spur gears 16 and 24, as well as in the Summierplanetensatz 17 are chosen so that when the synchronizer 2 is closed, the speed of the sun gear 19 and thus to the hydraulic pump 28 is close to zero.

Die in den Fig. 6 und 7 gezeigten Ausführungen zeichnen sich besonders durch ihre kostengünstige Konstruktion aus. Alternativ zu der dargestellten Hydropumpe 28 ist die Verwendung eines drehzahlgeregelten elektrischen Generators denkbar. Figuren 8 und 9 zeigen einen möglichen Aufbau eines erfindungsgemäßen Moduls für ein Getriebe, bei dem keine Leistungsabnahme über einen Nebenabtrieb vorgesehen ist. In diesen Ausführungen wird das Modul zur stufenlosen Anpassung der Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 bei annähernd konstanter Drehzahl des Verbrennungsmotors verwendet, um innerhalb der einzelnen Gangstufen diese stufenlose Anpassung zu erreichen.The in the Fig. 6 and 7 shown embodiments are characterized by their cost-effective design. Alternatively to the illustrated hydraulic pump 28, the use of a variable speed electric generator is conceivable. FIGS. 8 and 9 show a possible construction of a module according to the invention for a transmission, in which no power loss is provided via a power take-off. In these embodiments, the module is used for continuously adjusting the rotational speed of the output shaft 3 at approximately constant speed of the internal combustion engine in order to achieve this stepless adjustment within the individual gear stages.

Figur 10 zeigt eine weitere alternative Ausführung der Erfindung, bei welcher nur die Drehzahl des Nebenabtriebes 8 unter Nutzung des Überlagerungsgetriebes 30 stufenlos an die geforderten Betriebsbedingungen angepasst werden kann. Diese Alternative ist von Vorteil, wenn die am Nebenabtrieb erforderliche Leistung auch bei geringer Drehzahl der Eingangswelle 1 bereit gestellt werden soll. Die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit wird in dieser Ausführung über die Drehzahl der Eingangswelle 1 und die gewählte Gangstufe im Fahrantrieb bestimmt. Die Drehzahl am Nebenabtrieb 8 wird über das Überlagerungsgetriebe an die jeweiligen Anforderungen optimal angepasst. FIG. 10 shows a further alternative embodiment of the invention, in which only the speed of the power take-off 8 can be adjusted using the superposition gear 30 continuously to the required operating conditions. This alternative is advantageous if the power required at the power take-off is to be provided even at a low speed of the input shaft 1. The vehicle speed is determined in this embodiment on the speed of the input shaft 1 and the selected gear in the drive. The speed at the power take-off 8 is optimally adapted via the superposition gearbox to the respective requirements.

Die mit dieser Erfindung hauptsächlich erzielbaren Vorteile sind:

  • Es können bestehende Fahrzeugkonfigurationen übernommen werden und serienmäßig verfügbare Getriebe und Getriebekomponenten bleiben in Verwendung.
    • Bei deaktivem Nebenabtrieb 8 zum Nebenaggregat wird die gesamte Antriebsleistung auf direktem Weg zum Fahrzeugantrieb abgeleitet.
    • Die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 zum Fahrzeugantrieb kann innerhalb der Drehzahl- und Leistungsgrenzen des Variatorsystems 13 stufenlos an die geforderten Bedingungen angepasst werden. Dadurch wird es möglich, die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit ohne schleifende Kupplungen zu beeinflussen.
    • Der Verbrennungsmotor kann entsprechend den Anforderungen der Nebenverbraucher oder der Leistungsanforderungen im Fahrantrieb in den optimalen Drehzahl- und/oder Leistungsbereichen betrieben werden.
    • Der Gesamtwirkungsgrad ist sehr gut, auch bei Betrieb des Fahrzeugantriebs oder des Antriebs zu den Nebenverbrauchern über die Verzweigungsgetriebe durch die geringe Leistungsübertragung über das Variatorsystem 13. Damit verbunden können die hydrostatischen, elektrischen oder mechanischen Variatorkomponenten klein dimensioniert werden.
    • Die Drehzahl der Abtriebswelle 3 kann gegenüber der Drehzahl der Eingangswelle 1 erhöht werden, wodurch bei definiertem Eingangsmoment an der Welle 1 das Moment an der Welle 3 reduziert wird und im nachgeschalteten Getriebe zum Fahrzeugantrieb höhere Leistungen als bei einer direkten Verbindung mit dem Verbrennungsmotor übertragen werden können.
    • Die bei Schaltvorgängen auftretenden Stufensprünge bei Synchrosplit- oder Automatikgetrieben, welche Drehzahlschwankungen an der Getriebeeingangswelle unvermeidbar machen, können durch Verwendung des Überlagerungsgetriebes 17 mit entsprechender Steuerung im Variator weitgehend kompensiert werden, wodurch am Verbrennungsmotor eine nur sehr geringe Drehzahlvariabilität verursacht wird und der Verbrennungsmotor während des gesamten Beschleunigungs- oder Verzögerungsvorganges in optimalen Betriebsbereichen gehalten werden kann.
The advantages that are mainly achievable with this invention are:
  • Existing vehicle configurations can be adopted and standard available transmissions and transmission components remain in use.
    • When the power take-off 8 to the auxiliary unit is deactivated, the entire drive power is dissipated directly to the vehicle drive.
    • The speed of the output shaft 3 to the vehicle drive can be adjusted continuously within the speed and performance limits of the variator 13 to the required conditions. This makes it possible to influence the vehicle speed without slipping clutches.
    • The internal combustion engine can be operated according to the requirements of the secondary consumers or the power requirements in the drive in the optimum speed and / or power ranges.
    • The overall efficiency is very good, even when operating the vehicle drive or the drive to the secondary consumers via the branching gearbox by the low power transmission via the variator 13. This can be the hydrostatic, electrical or mechanical variator components are small in size.
    • The rotational speed of the output shaft 3 can be increased relative to the rotational speed of the input shaft 1, whereby the torque on the shaft 3 is reduced at a defined input torque on the shaft 1 and higher powers can be transmitted in the downstream transmission to the vehicle drive than in a direct connection to the internal combustion engine ,
    • The occurring during switching increments at Synchrosplit- or automatic transmissions, which make speed fluctuations on the transmission input shaft unavoidable, can be largely compensated by using the superposition gear 17 with appropriate control in the variator, whereby the engine only a very low speed variability is caused and the internal combustion engine throughout Acceleration or deceleration process can be kept in optimal operating ranges.
